With great loss, the "Young Guards" set off from London to return to Leeds. The team sat in the modified luxury bus and looked very depressed, and few people spoke along the way.

Zach Thompson leaned on the sofa chair and his eyes closed and motionless. He did not fall asleep, but was constantly thinking about the defeat today. Today's game brought a big impact to Zach Thompson. He originally thought that his "Black Feet" system had teammate bonus skill points, which would help the team become stronger quickly. When "Beasts" and "Black Big Men" were all like good buddies Jonny Hausen. After Ben Parker received bonuses, Leeds United could become invincible, but he didn't expect that the "Gunners" taught him a good lesson today. Football game... is really not a one-person game!

At Emirates Stadium, even if Zach Thompson's performance was not the best game he performed in the year after playing in the professional league, it must have been his hardest game. He ran a distance of 14.2 kilometers in a single game, which was definitely a desperate effort. Even Arteta, who took turns to guard him, ran 13 kilometers.

However, Leeds United failed to win this crucial top-ranking battle. This is no longer a problem with Zach Thompson alone, but Leeds United's overall strength is not as strong as Arsenal.

In terms of player quality, Arsenal is definitely above Leeds United, and even the coaching competition was a "professor". The cunning Wenger personally visited Elland Road Stadium to investigate before this game and finally came up with a targeted defensive measure, which allowed Arsenal to limit Leeds United's offense at the Emirates Stadium, leaving Tevez and Ameoy to fall into the opponent's siege and unable to create a threat. Arsenal's defensive strategy is obviously only used on Leeds United, and it is not suitable for other teams.

But no matter what, Arsenal won this game after all. After this game, Tottenham Hotspurs topped the table with the advantage of goal difference, Arsenal followed closely, and Leeds United had already fallen to third place.

Before Leeds United returned to Leeds, online media had already made key comments on the Emirates Stadium game. Everyone, including Leeds United fans, saw some of the problems existing in the "Youth Guards".

Leeds United competed in the Super League as a newly promoted player this season, making great progress, surpassing many giants in the standings and ranking first for several rounds. This is indeed very rare, but the newly promoted players are the newly promoted players after all. Even with outstanding players such as "Shake", Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, and Tevez, their overall strength is still not enough to compete with those real strong teams. It is normal to lose to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

But this loss is not a big end for Leeds United. As a newly promoted team, they should have only aimed at relegation. Now they have even had a significant impact on the title of this season. This performance is enough to make fans across England happy.

There has even been a remark on the Internet that if a team wants to win the championship trophy this season, it must win the game against Leeds United. Like the "Red Devils" Manchester United, they lost to Leeds United at the beginning of the season. Now even if the "Old Sir" leads the team to catch up, they are only ranked sixth in the standings with 6 wins, 1 draws, 3 losses and 19 points. Arsenal is already a six-point gap with Tottenham Hotspur, which ranks first and second. If we consider that these two teams have one less game, the gap may widen to 9 points. Although the league has just begun, the hope of "Red Devils" Manchester United winning the championship is already very slim.

After returning to Leeds, the players saw their girlfriends or wives driving to pick up their girlfriends or wives in the parking lot of the Thorpe Arch training base. They all went back to their homes to find their mothers, and tried to find some comfort in life.

After Zach Thompson got in the car, he felt that his girlfriend seemed to have something to say to him. The two of them had some conversations along the way, and the feeling became stronger and stronger. However, Melissa never said anything, just praised Zach Thompson for her performance at the Emirates Stadium and analyzed some reasons for Leeds United's loss.

When they returned home, the two of them ate the steak that Melissa had prepared long ago and lay down on the bed to play the two-player game. But after the passion, Zach Thompson had a clear feeling. He felt... he seemed to be losing Melissa, because today Melissa seemed to cherish the moments of the two people being together, and there was no longer the joy of being together as usual.

Listening to Melissa's snoring while she was asleep, Zach Thompson couldn't fall asleep leaning against her pillow.

Is it my illusion?

Or... Well, it should be because we lost the away game, so she was so obedient to me. This should be how she comforted me?

But...hehe, I don’t need any comfort. Every game is just a step on my success continent. After every game, I will become stronger. Humph, when all my attributes are full, I can see who can stop me from galloping on the green field!

Zach Thompson stretched out his frown, kissed Melissa's forehead beside him, and then moved her body down. Melissa seemed to be disturbed and turned her body to one side. At an angle that Zach Thompson could not see, a pair of beautiful eyes opened, and the tears in her eyes made the eyes covered with a layer of mist...

The next day, when Zach Thompson got up, Melissa had already left. The breakfast she prepared for Zach Thompson was already on the table, eggs, ham, milk, bread, and these high-calorie foods can allow a football player to quickly recover his physical fitness after the game.

Zach Thompson laughed and grabbed the milk cup and drank it. But suddenly he saw a white envelope on the dining table. He smeared the slice of bread, took a bite, put it in his mouth, picked up the envelope, pulled out a piece of paper inside, and looked at it for a few glances and opened his mouth wide. The slice of bread fell on the dining table.

On that piece of paper, Melissa left him a message: Dear Shaq, I feel very sorry for losing yesterday's game. I wanted to stay and comfort you, but I still have to go to the United States. I know a good agent in the modeling circle. He is a client of my father. He said that I have the potential to become a top model in the world and want to take me to the United States to see if there is any chance. So... Sorry, Shaq, I am not going to leave you, but I am going to leave for a few days, maybe a week, maybe a month, sorry, when you need me, I left and wait for me to come back!

The signature is: Love you Merry!

Meli, is Zach Thompson's nickname for his girlfriend.

"Damn!"

Zach Thompson smiled bitterly: "Damn! Are foreign girls so independent? I won't tell you about such a big thing! This ocean horse can't be tamed easily!"

After cursing, Zach Thompson started to eat breakfast again.

In fact, Zach Thompson had a premonition in his heart. Maybe Melissa might have gone forever to pursue his career this time, but he understood that such a thing was really impossible to force. Moreover, when Melissa met him, the famous "Shack" was just Zach Thompson at that time, and was just a young player in the Leeds youth training camp. The relationship between the two was still very sincere.

Melissa is completely different from those women who are close to stars for fame and fortune. Zach Thompson is sure of this. Melissa went to the United States to enter the modeling career, which is also her freedom, and no one has the right to interfere. As for the relationship between the two for more than a year... Zach Thompson is too lazy to think too much, isn't it broken yet?

After a leisurely resting for a day, Zach Thompson went online at home to read online novels in China. The time of this day passed quickly. British novels still could not arouse Zach Thompson's interest. On the contrary, the fantasy and fairy tale novels in China made him enjoy reading them.

On November 5, Leeds United players ended their vacation and returned to the team to start training. In three days, they will go to the away game to play the fourth round of the UEFA Europa League group stage with Fenerbahce.

In fact, losing to the Gunners Arsenal away did not cause much trouble to Leeds United. Only the head coach Simon Grayson, who secretly adjusted his strategy. The players should train as they should. After losing to the Gunners, Leeds players could see themselves more clearly... The "Youth Guards" are just a team of promoted teams with outstanding performance.

Although he is a promoted team, Leeds United, which has the "beast" and "Three Leeds Musketeers", is still very strong. He has a bit of a standout in the G group of the UEFA Cup. On November 8, he easily defeated Fenerbahce with a score of 3:0 away and won four consecutive wins in the group stage. His 12-point score is already 5 points ahead of Dynamo Kiev, who ranked second, and has 8 more points than the third-place Genke team. This also allowed Leeds United to enter the knockout stage in advance to enter the top 32 of the UEFA Cup.

After returning to Leeds, Leeds United began to make every effort to welcome the "Red Army" Liverpool who is about to come to Elland Road Stadium. Although he no longer dreams of a championship, Leeds United still feels that they have the strength to compete for the qualification for next season's European competition, which requires them to rank in the top six in the standings.

The "Reds" performed well this season. They are currently ranked fifth with 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, only 2 points less than Leeds United. Considering that they have played against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, this result is quite good.

However, as the outside world said, if you want to compete for this season's Premier League championship, the "Youth Guards" level will still have to pass.
